Crescendo

It's always something small in the beginning

Just the careless words said without thinking

That makes the chain react and there's no taking back

Oh oh, oh oh

Soon we're drawing swords and making circles

Tip-toeing 'round the thing that really hurts most

Too stubborn to stand down, too proud to turn around

Oh oh

Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo

And none of us can let go, let go, let go

It's out of our control, control, control

And I can't stand the noise

You look me in the eye, I keep on staring

Straight ahead like I'm not even caring

But we both this game it's all a masquerade

Oh oh, oh oh

And I know later on, we'll both regret it

But while the moment's here, we can't forget it

Before we know we're stuck, turn our emotions up

Oh oh, oh oh

Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo

And none of us can let go, let go, let go

It's out of our control, control, control

And I can't stand the noise

Can we stop and talk it over?

Instead of talking over ourselves

Can we stop and talk it over, over, over, over?

We keep getting louder

We keep getting louder

We keep getting louder

And I can't stand the noise

Oh oh (2x)

Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo

And none of us can let go, let go, let go

It's out of our control, control, control

And I can't stand the noise (2x)

Can we stop and talk it over?

Instead of talking over ourselves

Can we stop and talk it over, over, over, over?
